Fashion Friday ! Maxi Skirts and Dresses

Well throughout the weeks, I was on the the hunt for maxi everything lol from maxi skirts to dresses ! - i'm really looking for something that i can dress up and dress down into

Not to mention- item pieces that are wallet friendly.. and i mean real wallet friendly aha! I have been looking for dresses and skirts for so long but there is no right item piece that comes along. I happened to look and find 2 Maxi dresses in the most unexpected places- for me at least. 

I bought them at Urban Planet..... LOL don't be all judgmental now! I am a student on a real tiightt budget LMAO i don't have time to be prancing around and about at Club Monaco or Zara atm LMAO i must go back to the olden days where urban planet was my main bitch (no not really.) But yeah- to be honest you have to look..reaaaally hard in order for you to find a real nice decent dress- fortunately for me i found one that I would be able to wear to formal events and one i can wear for more casual days :)

I'm going through a phase where i love long EVERYTHING (lets narrow that down to only fashion..) In my personal opinion, i think that modesty is the new sexy for me--> If i were a guy and I saw a young lady walking around in a maxi dress, in a way it would kind of show her promiscuity. We as a culture are so used to wearing shorts and short skirts and above the knee dresses that we would be interested and curious if a person were to wear something long and covering, like "what does she have to hide?" sort of atmosphere-- it is eye catching (not to mention glamorous!)

Here we can see Jessica Alba (on left) wearing a bold black/white printed pattern with a biker vest to add a little bit of masculinity while Vanessa Hudgens maintains her cute persona with a nude detailed pattern maxi with a delicate frill on the chest and to top it all off a slouchy fringed bag.

Maxi skirts can definitely display  boho chic to any look.... you know what its just better to say the Maxi's are very versatile! Like you can do a million things with the dress!!

I thinnk the number one issue with long dresses is the Length- "i can't pull it off cause i'm too short" it doesn't have to necessarily be that way. There are many ways to fight the problem:

1. Wear Wedges- wedges can add on substantial amount of height while at the same time keeping you comfy and safely on the ground than your typical stilettos 
2. Find a High-Lo Maxi dress- if your not into wearing high wedges or platforms you can always opt for a high-lo maxi dress where basically it is high cut at the front but has a waterfall effect flowing longer towards the back. 

Also if it's too long there is also the option for Hemming to your desired length? that way you, won't be tripping over yourself or having to hold your dress every time you walk ;P

----

The same concept goes for Skirts--> i think having a skirts allows you for more lea way into making the skirt work for you 

What i would do is that i take a quick look outside--> that in a way sort of determines how I would want to dress along with how i feel E.g: if i felt cheery and the weather is great i would wear light pastel colours with fabric that is light and airy/flowy  i would then pair this with nude to brown accents (belts, earrings, shoes etc) 

Thats it for this post guys ! 

Cheers !
